Just back from a ten day UK holiday. A couple of days in severe pain, a couple of days where slept 18+ hours (long covid, so this part was expected), a couple of days in hospital and at doctor for three others, lots of time on hold for medical reasons. I have to have a surgical wound unpacked and repacked every two days and have been told no GP appointments for that at my surgery. I'm going to have to wait for around three hours a time at walk-in clinic, with three kids. Often I only have about 4-5 very semi-functional hours a day due to long covid. Having severe mama guilt.
